Transactions pending (not getting broadcasted) in mempool, rebroadcasting to other nodes works

[kamikazechaser]

I am running a cel2 alfajores full node. Submitting valid transactions (correct nonce, above required minGasPrice) results in them being in a pending state pretty much forever. Restarting the node doesn't help.

On LOG_LEVEL=4 we see that the transaction was submitted:

cel2-op-geth  | INFO [11-18|08:26:29.958] Submitted transaction                    hash=0xe7a4243f5cacc05db6ad6c65f6f220440362105cb8d5d67fffb81b7f16e949cf from=0xfF6Dc3D5a44c1f7CeD08Ad7640dcB7C0818af106 nonce=9 recipient=0xD3aD04CFfD29C8661D36A34f0314f5E372f7077D value=0

To fix it, I simply rebroadcast the raw tx using celoscan and it works. What could be the issue? Could it be a misconfiguration on the consensus client?

There is no firewall blocking in/out connections. External peer ports are reachable.

This is how the node + consensus client is setup -> https://github.com/grassrootseconomics/cel2-node/blob/master/cel2/docker-compose.yaml
